1.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 01/01/2008 - "Our previous studies have shown that a single-mode optical fiber (SMF)-based, two-photon optical fiber fluorescence (TPOFF) probe could be effective as a minimally invasive, real-time technique for quantifying fluorescence in solid tumors. " 01/01/1988 - "In this study, the normal ureter was shown to tolerate photodynamic therapy at energy densities equivalent to those used to effect tumor regression and the feasibility of using a cylindrical optical fiber for treatment of ureteral malignancies was confirmed." 07/01/2009 - "These results indicated that mid-infrared absorption spectra collected remotely with an optical fiber can be used to identify colonic dysplasia with high accuracy, suggesting that continued development of this technique for the early detection of cancer is promising." 04/01/2009 - "Photodynamic therapy uses nonthermal coherent light delivered via fiber optic cable to locally activate a photosensitive chemotherapeutic agent that ablates tumor tissue. " 02/15/2009 - "Tumors were thermally ablated by percutaneous, optical fiber-delivered, NIR radiation using a 3.5-W average, 3-minute laser dose at 808 nm that selectively elevated the temperature of tumor tissue to 65.8 +/- 4.1 degrees C.

2.	Chronic Kidney Failure (Chronic Renal Failure) 03/01/2007 - "Optical fiber microarrays have been used to screen saliva from patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) to ascertain the efficacy of dialysis. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
3.	Fatigue 05/01/1982 - "High surface-compressive stresses up to 0.69 GPa (100 kpsi) resulted in significant improvement in fatigue resistance of optical-fiber waveguides." Order ALL the reference details at left...
4.	Necrosis 01/01/2000 - "STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS: A Monte Carlo simulation was performed to study the expected region of vascular necrosis in a two layer skin model when 585-nm radiation is delivered into the dermis by means of subcutaneous optical fibers. " 05/15/2008 - "Solid obturation of biliary tract were found by the check with optical fiber choledochoscope in all BCS patients, necrosis of biliary tract epithelium were observed in partial BCS patients. " 08/01/2002 - "One of the major limitations is the size of tissue necrosis achieved by a single optical fiber. " 09/01/1992 - "Because the Ho:YAG laser can precisely and rapidly resect cartilaginous tissues with only moderate necrosis, can function in a saline environment, and can be transmitted through conventional optical fibers, it has the potential of becoming a useful and adaptable system for TMJ arthroscopic surgery." 05/01/1990 - "Because the holmium laser can precisely and rapidly resect cartilaginous tissues with only moderate necrosis, function in a saline environment in direct contact with tissue, and be transmitted through conventional optical fibers, it has the potential to become a useful tool for the precise arthroscopic removal of intraarticular tissue."

5.	Atherosclerosis (Atheroma) 07/01/1988 - "Studies using a dual laser system combining 325 nm laser-excited fluorescence plaque recognition and a 480 nm pulsed dye laser for tissue ablation with common optical fibers demonstrated normalization of both fluorescence intensity and spectra appearance after laser atheroma ablation. " 03/01/2001 - "Here we describe a technique for a morphology-based diagnosis of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries using Raman spectroscopy that can potentially be performed in vivo using optical fiber technology. " 08/01/1989 - "Spectral diagnosis of atherosclerosis using an optical fiber laser catheter." 03/10/1998 - "When Raman spectra are obtained clinically via optical fibers, Raman spectroscopy may be useful in monitoring the progression and regression of atherosclerosis, predicting plaque rupture, and selecting proper therapeutic intervention."
